Eagles snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in loss to Falcons, 22 to 21

The Philadelphia Eagles are 1-1 after losing to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football. Final score: 22 to 21.

It looked like the Eagles had this game won.

They were facing 3rd-and-3 from the Falcons’ 10-yard line with a three-point lead and 1:46 left in the game. The Falcons didn’t have any timeouts left.

Instead of deciding to run the ball, however, Jalen Hurts was used on a play-action boot to throw to Saquon Barkley ... who dropped the pass that hit his hands. Had he caught it, the Eagles win the game by running out the clock.
